| Q.
: |
What kind of pools do you
design and install? |
| A.
: |
We are specialist
designers and installers of indoor and outdoor reinforced
concrete luxury swimming pools with tiled finish. As far as
pool shell is concerned, we can use poured in place concrete
or unite and offer various alternatives to ordinary tiles as
well. |
|
|
| Q.
: |
Who are your main
customers? |
| A.
: |
We design and install
swimming pools for private clients, schools, hotels,
builders, pool contractors and architects. Technology Pools
specialises, in particular, in the mechanical services to
serve indoor and outdoor pools and spas. We can as such
advise at a very early stage on the special requirements for
the pool, pool plant and the environmental control and heat
recovery systems essential for indoor pools. |
|
|
| Q.
: |
What is included in your
scope of work? |
| A.
: |
We prepare initial design
drawings that include the pool design and specifications
with all diagrams and details for layout, profiles,
gradients, shell fittings, plumbing, filtration ,
electrical, heating , ventilation and water features.
The excavation for pool & ducting and preparation of
sound base for the pool to rest on is usually done by the
main contractor. We then come in to place the concrete shell
and finish the pool with tiles, pebbles or any other agreed
finish. The pool shell fittings like main sumps, inlets etc
are installed during the course of shell construction.
Carefully sized water pipes and under floor ducts for pool
hall air are run to the plant room (provided by others) and
various water treatment and air heating equipment installed.
The pool is than filled up, heated to required temperature
and water balanced before handing over. We provide detailed
manuals complete with as installed drawings for customers
reference and records.
If required, as is in the cases where the pool shell is a
part of the building or building foundation, we are happy to
work on a concrete shell provided by the main contractor.
Needless to say, we do need to be involved in such projects
right from the beginning so that integral pool fittings can
be placed in the shell as required. |

|
| Q.
: |
How much is a custom
swimming pool? |
| A.
: |
Because every swimming
pool we do is unique and specially designed for a particular
customer keeping his or her needs in consideration, it is
almost impossible to provide a price list. But the initial
consultation is free and we calculate an estimate after
working out the basics of project. That budget figure is
yours to consider and go ahead if you feel comfortable with
it. |
|
|
| Q.
: |
Why do I get a swimming
pool designed by you? |
| A.
: |
When you decide to build
your home, do you go to a building materials supplier, a
hardware store or an electrical goods supplier? Or do you
contact bricklayers, plumbers or electricians? None, but an
architect or a specialist interior designer. So it makes
little sense in approaching a general contracting company
for designing and building a swimming pool |
|
|
| Q.
: |
How big, and how deep
should I make my pool? |
| A.
: |
A typical residential
swimming pool is 12' to 20' wide and 24' to 40' long. Depth
is 3' at the shallow end and about 5' at the deep end. But
it also depends on the intended use, budget, location,
planning etc. |
|
|
| Q.
: |
Am I limited to swimming
pool designs shown on your website? |
| A.
: |
In a word, no. You are
not limited to the designs or shapes we show on our site.
Our design engineers can produce a set of plans even from a
sketch or photograph. Almost any pool shape can be sized and
designed to fit your property, or your specifications.
